No Republican gets the number of votes required to be the next RNC Chairman

[ck4829]

Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele got the most votes in the third round of balloting for the Republican National Committee chairmanship. He got 51, but that wasn't enough.

Because 85 votes are required for elevation to the helm of the party, the RNC will vote a fourth time.

None of this bodes well for current GOP chairman Mike Duncan. He is seeking re-election, but has watched his support erode steadily with each round of voting. He got 44 votes in the third round.

South Carolina GOP Chairman Katon Dawson got 34, while Michigan GOP Chairman Saul Anuzis took 24. And, former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell trailed with 15.

AWESOME!

1. Duncan has now dropped out.

The GOP chair will be Steele, unless Duncan's votes almost entirely coalesce around Katon Dawson.

2. Like an election to be captain of the Titanic

The difference is the ship already struck the iceberg.

[malaise]

3. Duncan dropped out because he was getting less votes

Blackwell has no shame or he'd have done the same. I'm betting on the last man standing to be white and racist.

5. I nominate Palin for RNC Chair

Will ensure DECADES of minority status for the Republic Party.

[whistle]

7. Looks like they will have to go direct to the World Fascist Party for their leader

8. And they're so used to being told how to vote in unison. This deciding stuff must be killing them. n

9. But we all know it's ACTUALLY Limpballs!

10. RNC

Why don't they just give It to their real leader Rush Limburgh.Or as Keith Olberman calls him Comedial Rysh Limburgh.

Imagne for the enxt fear years a fight between Obama leading democrats and Rush leading Republicans.

Perhapes Obama will not be the next Kennedy or the Democratic version of reagan but the next FDR.In his first midterm Democrats
picked up seats and It wasn't untill his second midterms that they had any reason to celebrate.

11. That settles it, give it to "The Nazi" = RushBo

He can bring along (in leathers and on a chain?) Gingrey(R-GA) as his gimp assistant. :evilgrin:

13. HAAAAAAAAhaaaaaaa..sorry this is really humorous...

Well said as to not being able to make a decision without someone telling them what to do.

Poster valerief..#8
the truth.

[gratuitous]

14. Will the media dare report it?

Will we see chyrons and banners about "splits" in the Republican machine? Will they dare say that the Republicans are "divided" or "squabbling"? Or even that they are {gasp!} in disarray?! It's their favorite story to tell anytime two Democrats ever disagree. Will they tell the same story about the GOP as they struggle to name a party chairman through a four-way divide?

15. HAHAHA FUCKING HAHAHAHAA

The only appropriate candidate to head their party would be Satan himself.
And then they might have an image problem with the MSM.
Then again, knowing our media, maybe not.

:shrug:


Let them wallow in fracture and irrelevance!
